I hit the range today because it was decent out and I wanted to do some shooting. One of the guns I brought was my LCP and the same thing happens every time I shoot an LCP.
I'll shoot a few mags worth and I'll be fine, but what happens is about 20 rounds in, I get the shakes. Now, my LCP is the Custom and the trigger is better than an LCP because it's a metal trigger and I do shoot better with the Custom, but be that as it may, I get the shakes no matter what.
And the issue is that once I've shot the LCP, I'll have the shakes for the rest of my time at the range, which is why I usually wait until the end to shoot the LCP.
Part of what's causing it is I believe I have a torn rotator cuff or something because when I shoot pistols offhand, after enough time with my arm extended, I get weakness in my shoulder. When I shoot larger handguns, like Ruger Redhawks, cap and ball revolvers, Glocks... I don't have the shakes after any amount of shooting. After enough time, my shoulder will get tired, but a few minutes of rest and it will be okay.
That's not the case with the LCP.
When I take my shoulder out of the equation and I shoot off a rest, the shake is in my hands/wrists when I grip and squeeze the trigger, so even if my shoulder was 100%, there's still an issue in the shaking.
So, is there any special trick to shooting the LCP that can limit my shakes?
